About	ohn Sufka 1949 - 2020 Add a Memory Share This Page Kenneth John Sufka Washington - Sufka, Kenneth John, entered into eternal peace on April 3, 2020 in Washington, DC where he resided for the past 45 years. He was born to Theodore F. and Geraldine (Coenen) Sufka on September 15, 1949 in St. Cloud, Minnesota. "Kenny" as known to all of us, will be remembered as a charismatic, caring and a loving person to his family and all of his friends. His engaging personality was truly one of a kind! His presence was felt, and the light was brighter the moment he entered the room. He was a very well-read man. Whether it was history, sports or politics, Kenny was able to articulate on any subject matter. He was a sports enthusiast who very much enjoyed playing golf with family and friends, especially his friends at Lansdowne Golf and Country Club. He attended St. Cloud Technical High School and attended college once he completed his military service. Kenny enlisted in the U.S. Armyimmediately following high school and was a highly decorated soldier for his distinguishing service in the Vietnam War. Kenny's favorite word that he lived by was "Freedom". He married his high school sweetheart Linda Tattle, and Kenny's love for her never diminished. He had an exceptional career beginning with his work as an account executive for Association Management Inc. in Washington, DC. Under the leadership of the President of AMI and his very good friend Chuck Perry, Kenny became one of the most talented in the association management industry. From there he utilized his entrepreneurial skills and founded Sufka & Associates in 1984. He was entirely responsible for the success of this company until his retirement in 2019. He was preceded in death by his father, Theodore "Pitch", mother, Geraldine "Dolly" and brothers; Theodore "Teddy", Jerome "Omie", Joseph "Joey" and Andrew "Andy". He is survived by Peter (Terry) Sufka, Constance "Connie" (Dave) Then, Patrick "Pat" (Vickie) Sufka, Frank Sufka, Thomas "Tom" Sufka and Caroline Mathison, along with several nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews. Due to the pandemic, there will be a service held in St. Cloud, MN later this year. Details will be announced as soon as available.
